Observation-Disclosures oath. 1881, by

The annual meeting of the Phillips
County Agricultural and Mechanical
Association will be held at the Seere-
tary's Office on Tuesday December Is ,
at o'clock p m. All stockholders
are especially requested to attend as
business Of importance will demand at
tention. J. S. BARNES, Secretary
George Dill was before Judge Nc
Cormick on Wednesday for drunken
ness and for whipping and kicking his
wife. The Judge fined him S15,O and
costs which amounted To $3.50. He
drove her away the second night, and
we learn the end is not yet. Demon
whiskey is said to be the cause.
Born. to Mr.. and Mrs. Newton
Bennett on Thursday of last week, a
nice girl baby. Newton is happy, but
he says he had hoped the little stranger
might be a democratic voter. That
girl, if she lives to be p years old will
be a voter, Newton, but, she will very
probably not vote the Democratic
ticket.
Our nice weather came to an end
on last Friday when it began showing.
Satul day was a very disagreeable day,
good able bodied blizzard raging ali
day. Sunday morning it is said that it
was 20 degrees below zero. Monday
was pleasant again. Probably about
three inches OF snow fell on Friday and
Saturday.
1t was reported that G. Y Cren-
shaw, proprietor of one of Phillipsburg's
additions would arrive On Monday or
Tuesday, but d. Mcdonald received a
letter on Monday from Eugene Low
conveying the intelligence of the death
Of Mr. Crenshaw's brother which would
detain him few days. He will prob
ably arrive this week.
At this writing the trackJayers are
about 10 miles east of PhIllipsburg or
near the county hne. The snow storm
delayed them several days. and besides,
the company ran out Of ties end had TO
stop on that account. The HERALD
Can not set any time when the cars will
run into Phillipsburg. That event will
probably not occur before Christmas
but may in 10 days.
The Smith Center Bulletin of last
week saidi We learn from reliable in
formation that the line of the Rock Is
land from BellYille TO Topeka will be
completed this week. Cars will then
run direct from this city to Kansas City
and Topeka without change. This
puts US about nine hours from Topeka
and ten from Kansas City, over the
best line of railroad in this country.
The Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska
was completed to Smith Center recent
ly. The new stations opened up are
Eleon, Esmonde, New Lebanon, Severn
and Smith Center. This completes
PSI miles of Chicago, Kansas & Neb.
track west from St. Joe, Tracklayers
on the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska
viii almost meet to day and join the
track between mcfarland and Bell
ville.-Topeka Commonwealth.
There ought to be a ''Relief Socie-
ty'' in Philhpsburg as there is in near
ly every town and city in the country
whose Outy it is to aid the sick and des-
titute in cases OF emergency. Poor
widows with little lily cad children
have "a hard time of il at best, but when
the cold winds and SHOWS or winter
come, their condition is oft times de
piorable. Jesus said: Iuasmuch as
ye did it unto the least of these ye did
1t unto me.
The HERALD don't like personal
tiles, but would prefer TO treat coutem-
poraries in a friendly. courteous man
ner, as there is no argument in eyi-
thets, and we are rarely provoked into
a personal squabble with another edi-
tor Our ambition is 10 make a news
paper that viii be welcome at the FIRE
side OF the best OF people. But some
times we are almost compelled in self
defense 10 answer an editor in the
same spirit he manifests in his personal
attacks on us.
Since cold weather has set In, it
has been aScertained that large num-
Der of people were either entirely out
Of coal or had very small amount on
hand. For several days those who had
a stock on hand. divided up with those
~ no had none We presume there are
families vino have not the means nee
essary 10 enable them to lay in a cup
ply before cold weather comes on, but
all those who can should make il their
first business 10 buy a ton or more now,
and prepaFe for the next cold snap.
